i don’t even think it can be called a bump,it’s not a belly, in fact, in truth, i think it’s mostly fat so far…

this morning. since it is slated to rain, but pretty sunny out… wearin the boots anyway.

today marks 17 weeks and here is a brief recapof what my “lumps” are made up of so far:

pasta

pizza

pickles

burgers

fries

cheese

greek yogurt

blueberries

sweet potato fries

smoothies

not nearly enough water, and way too much diet dr pepper in d-caf form.

i’ll be the first to admit i haven’t been on my game this time around.i have not been obsessive about water, i haven’t taken any photos,i haven’t written down anything about being pregnant,and i am definitely not getting enough sleep and exercise. {except for last night when we decided to fall asleep at 8pm cause we’re old people.}

lets just say, i am feeling nasty.and not entirely cute.

i usually have a pretty good control of my appetite.i usually don’t have much of one.

usually, when about 8 or 9pm hits, and we’ve had dinner…and we are catching up on suits, or bones…

a little green monster in the recesses of my stomach cavity come thundering up screaming, “you MUST have _________!!!!” — the “________” changes daily,

but it is sometimes chinese, sometimes taco bell,almost always papa johns, and last night…i just wanted cookie dough. {may have been cause i found an eggless recipe on pinterest… blast that site.}

i whined like a two year old with my pot belly out, staring into our useless, empty, ugly pantry. that desperately needs to be organized…

i settled on some greek yogurt topped with cool whip and fruit snacks while my husband just chuckled beside me.

i don’t joke about food.and about half way through, i wanted to vomit.it wasn’t what the green monster wanted.

so if food was any indicator of gender,i would say i’m having more boy thoughts than girl,but that could be in part, because of my fear of girls…i guess we’ll know for sure on the 21st…

i hope you have prettier things to look at this week, cause i could really use em!!

You have a fear of girl babies? I love them and will take as many as I can get though I&#39;m sure I would say the same about baby boys if I had one. The real fear should be that you would get swallowed up in the obsession over cute baby girl clothes!

yes, that&#39;s mostly the fear… that i will go bankrupt trying to keep her cute! plus, B&#39;s been so mellow, and we have a lot of girlfriends who are not! I just fear that if I have a girl, she&#39;ll be the opposite of what i have!!

Can&#39;t WAIT to hear what you&#39;re having!! I think having two boys is the CUTEST! Plus B would love having a bro-bro. Do NOT feel guilty about pregnancy consumptions….cuz then I&#39;ll have to feel guilty. My babies are made up of Dr Pepper, almond m&amp;m&#39;s and chips and salsa.<br /><br />….I might have drooled while typing those foods.

I love reading your insights into pregnancy &amp; motherhood! Thanks for the great party!
